BIRTHDAY boy Robbie Fowler is determined to show that Premiership life begins again at 30!
The Blues' leading scorer hits the landmark anniversary tomorrow and intends to commemorate it in style by helping City register their first win under boss Stuart Pearce.
And he is determined, too, that Liverpool - the club where he made his name and where he is still referred to on the Kop as 'God' - are not about to spoil the party.
"It's ironic that my birthday should fall on the day we play Liverpool, but I hope to be celebrating with a win," declared the 10-goal marksman, whose stunning performance at Charlton last weekend had him linked with an England return.
"People go on about players being over 30 as if they are in suddenly in decline, but I feel as fit and sharp as I have done in a few years now, and, hopefully, my performances are showing that. Besides, there are plenty of examples of strikers who go on to score loads of goals as they get older. It's just another number."
Fowler's all-round contribution at The Valley had some seasoned observers drooling. He scored one but made several gilt-edged chances for team-mates that were spurned in the 2-2 draw.
"I feel very good at the minute, both in terms of scoring and creating," he said. "I have not had the greatest of seasons when it comes to goals, but I feel as if I have done reasonably well.
"It took me a long time to get off the mark at City, but I have worked hard and, hopefully, I am seeing the dividends now - and so are the fans.
"Since Stuart Pearce took over we have all worked very hard in training, and I think we have been unfortunate in both matches.
"At Charlton in particular we could have scored enough goals to win two games. Overall, everyone who was at that game would have been really impressed with us, the quality of our play and our spirit. Now we have to turn those performances into more points.
"Some people may have been surprised by the style with which we have played.
"I don't think the manager will mind me saying that he was a hard player who was uncompromising and used to kick people occasionally - I have been on the receiving end - but he learned the majority of his football in a Forest side that liked to pass and move, and that is what he has instilled in us."
Ironically, Fowler was last seen in a Liverpool shirt only a fortnight ago, when he starred for the `old boys' in the Tsunami fundraiser in front of nearly 40,000 at Anfield.
"I got a terrific reception and all the Liverpool fans can be proud of how they supported that worthy event," he said. "It was a wonderful, big-hearted response. But that doesn't change the fact this is a big game for us it, being the first at home under the new manager. If that means me scoring on my birthday against Liverpool, great."

The St. Thomas Aquinas College women's basketball team dropped a 79-68 decision at Aquinas Hall in a battle of the two remaining unbeaten teams in the East Coast Conference. The Lady Spartans are now 15-3 overall and 7-1 in the East Coast Conference, with LIU Post improving to 14-5 and 9-0.
Both teams held leads in a hotly-contested first quarter, with neither holding a lead in excess of four points. Kylie Garrett's late three-pointer snapped a tie to give the Pioneers a 19-16 advantage after 10 minutes, but after nearly three scoreless minutes in the second, Julia Winnick converted a three-point play to deadlock the contest once again. Garrett hit another trey to put the visitors back on top and STAC's offense continued to be plagued by turnovers, leading to a late 9-2 run to give LIU Post a 35-24 lead at intermission.
After another Garrett three gave her team a 37-25 lead, Alex Bertolino hit from deep and Adiya Henderson converted a three-point play to slice the deficit in half. While the visitors reclaimed a 50-40 edge late in the third, but Jenna Erickson's trey keyed a 7-0 run to make the tally 50-47 entering the final session.
Erickson's jumper with 8:31 left narrowed the deficit to 52-51, but a pair of Kristen Olsen buckets were the turning point in an 8-0 answer for Post. Having trailed by as many as 13 in the final minutes, STAC staged a furious comeback to draw within five, but the Pioneers were able to seal the win at the foul line.
Bertolino led four Lady Spartans in double-figures with 14 points, joined by Adiya Henderson (13), Jenna Erickson (11), and Emily Preston (10, plus a game-high eight rebounds). Garrett and Sasha Patterson led LIU Post, tying for game-high with 18 points each.
The Lady Spartans return to action on Wednesday, January 24, with a trip to Queens College in an East Coast Conference battle that will be shown on ESPN3. They then play their next four at Aquinas Hall starting with Molloy visiting on Saturday, January 27.

Caught a Couple Pigs
My FIL took my wife and I out to one of his favorite little lakes in SE Idaho a few weeks ago. He has fished this lake many times and knows right where to troll and what lure works best and I couldn't believe how great the fishing was! We had our limit of 2 fish each fairly quickly and came back with 6 rainbows. The smallest of which was 17". These are the 2 I came home with:
Rough measure was around 23 and 24 inches on them.

Re: Caught a Couple Pigs
Nice fatties! Congrats!
It ain't the size of the gun but the placement of the bullet.
Re: Caught a Couple Pigs
Nice couple of "footballs"
Watch your top knot!
Re: Caught a Couple Pigs
Thanks! They looked liked salmon fillets once we cleaned them and they tasted awesome! I'm itching to go fishing up there before it freezes over.

Unseren Ersteindruck von zwei gespielten Partien schildern wir ausführlich in unserem Podcast (http://cliquenabend.de/news/883700-Heidelberger-Burgevent-2016-Smuker.html).
Put on your captain's hat and navigate the 3D pirate ship using sand timers in this unique real-time co-op. Flip the sand timer, take control of the pirate ship and make sure your objectives are all aligned in this fast and furious game for the entire family.
As a member of an adventurous pirate crew your goal is to be crowned Admiral of the Black, the most feared pirate ship in the Caribbean. To earn this title you must complete dangerous scenarios in the shortest possible time frame.
The Game is a cooperative and "in real time" family game with 3D components.
The most innovative element of the game is that the player uses his own sand timer (30 seconds) as a character to be placed on the ship to perform actions. Each time a player places his own sand timer, he has to wait the time to flow over to be able to perform the action needed. Each hole in the ship represents an area where you can perform a specific action: turning the ship, loading cannons, shooting enemy ships, repairing damage and so forth...
Admiral of the Black has 10 different scenarios, ranging from ordinary pirating activities like looking & shooting, to Kraken, prison breaks, treasure hints and much more. An app for any smartphone or tablet will lead the players along the missions, assist with scenario data, random events, multiple paths, upgrades and game state saving for later sessions. It also serves as a timer for the individual round (the typical scenario last 2-3 rounds of 5 min each).
The players have to react to events and maneuver the ship to fight enemy gunboats, to catch rich merchant vessels and avoid other obstacles. They must communicate to agree and organize things to do, but they have to be quick because time is always ticking.
Admiral of the Black is swift playing with simple rules, but it's exciting and involving, with great interactions among players. Unlike some other real time coop games the stress is present but not dominating. The 30 sec. delays, plus intermittent rounds, always allow you to catch your breath!

Endodontist Root Canal Chicago - How to stop abscesses in Chicago, IL – root canal therapy
Nothing can ruin you day, your mood, and your ability to enjoy eating faster than a toothache can. The pain is magnified many times if the tooth is abscessed. Your face can feel like an abscess, besides making you look like a chipmunk. Above and beyond being painful, this can get dangerous, an abscess is a pocket of infection, which can spread. We can give you antibiotics, and drain the infection if needed, but that won't stop it from coming back. To end abscesses forever in Chicago IL, root canal treatment will probably be needed.
An abscess is an infection that usually starts in decayed tooth tissue and spreads, not just to pockets, but inside your tooth as well. Your teeth have roots, buried beneath the surface of the gumline. Like hidden tunnels, these hollow chambers (called root canals) provide a safe, protected home for nerves and sensitive tissue. When harmful bacteria invade and take up residency in these root canals, they form a thriving colony that you can't evict.
Infection in the root canal lays in wait, multiplying its forces and launching repeated assaults in the form of toothaches and abscess pockets. Even when you think it is over, the enemy has just retreated to the safety of the root canal chamber to begin regrouping. The dentists at Big Smile Dental can put an end to this cycle of recurring pain with a root canal procedure.
This simply means numbing the area, drilling down to the root canal, and removing all of the infection, bacteria, and damaged tissue. Once this is done, the canal will be sealed off so there can be no future invasions. Because the pressure is relieved, the sensitivity to pressure or extreme temperature is relieved. The final step is usually placing a crown over the tooth, so it looks and works as good as new.
Don't you think it's time to end the chipmunk cheeks, lumpy gums, and toothaches forever? Come to Big Smile Dental and let us get the hidden enemies out of your mouth!

text: The Heart The heart is where our true self comes from. God talks about the heart many times in the scriptures. The world would say, that a certain thing a person had a heart to do it. So what is in our hearts is what we really are. For instance a person who is easily offended and constantly grumbles about it. What is behind it all is pride ( how dare you say such a thing to me) it is how we deal with situations like this that matters to God. So who is behind pride, Lucifer was such a beautiful angel, that his beauty got the better of him. He began to admire himself and the position he had in heaven. That turned into thinking that he could be everything that God was. So the heart of Lucifer began to be filled with pride. Ezekiel chapter 28 verse 14. 17. You were the anointed cherub who covers and I placed you there. You were on the Holy mountain of God. You walked in the midst of the stones of fire. Verse 17. Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty. You corrupted your wisdom by reason of you splendor. I cast you to the ground, I put you before Kings that they may see you. LASB. There we see how God hates pride, and how we must deal with it and all of the consequences. One of the problems in churches today is just this. And it needs to be settled before we can move on into the will of God. That means becoming Christ like, on our own that is not possible. But with the help of the Holy Spirit it can be done. Religion would have us say otherwise, we would do well to remember that is was religion that killed Christ. It will seek to stop any real moves of the Holy Spirit. We need to throw the shackles off and walk into the freedom that God has for us. In this day and age people will start looking to the church for answers. Only Spirit filled churches will do that.

Maintaining a healthy and well balanced diet amidst the stress of the fast paced life is very challenging for everybody. But if an individual comes to think seriously about the reasons for their suffering from Crohn's disease, they will find that not eating in the right manner is also responsible for this outcome.
Most of the food that we consume is digested in the small intestine. But when the small intestine becomes inflamed (as happens in Crohn's disease), it is incapable of breaking down the food and therefore the nutrients of the food is not absorbed in the body. This may lead to malnutrition and tiredness in those people. Therefore everyone should pay attention to the food that they are consuming to avoid triggering off Crohn's disease. Today we have list 8 tips for Crohn's disease diet as detailed below.
Eat regularly
Eating regularly is one of the salient features of crohn's disease diet. People suffering from crohn's disease may often feel a loss in their appetite and cause mal-absorption of the important nutrients and minerals. This will make patient weak and tired. An individual requires proteins, nutrients and vitamins for energy and for maintaining the good health. Therefore, eating regularly is a must. People can even break their meals and consume three or four small meals rather than eating a big meal. This will help them to eat properly and due to the small portions consumed, it will be easy for the small intestine to absorb the minerals easily.
Eat a well-balanced diet
Patient should consume a diet rich in proteins and vitamins. Vitamins especially A, B, C and folic acid are required for your good health. Calcium, iron and zinc are also compounds which should be included in the diet plan. In order to ensure that patient does not miss the essential nutrients in their food, it is best to eat four kinds of food which will meet the demands of the nutritional needs of the body. Meat and its substitutes are great sources of proteins and iron. For calcium, vitamin A and vitamin D, consumption of dairy products like cheese is helpful. Cereals and grain help to replenish the need for zinc in the body. Leafy green vegetables and fruits should be consumed for supplementing the needs of calcium, vitamin C, zinc.
Avoid alcohol
Those people who consume alcohol in large amounts should stop their consumption immediately to help prevent crohn's disease. Cocktails should also be stopped. If the consumption cannot be totally stopped, they should at least decrease the amount of their consumption. Alcohol and cocktails make every patients feel worse. Consuming these beverages may trigger symptoms of the crohn's disease and also irritate the gastrointestinal tract.
Do not eat spicy foods
Some persons may get tired by the continuous eating of bland foods which have minimum spice in them. For such people, self-control is very important as they may be tempted to eat the spicy food for restoring the taste in their mouth. The spicy foods irritate the gastrointestinal tract and cause much discomfort to the individual. However it has been found that consumption of bland foods have been helpful for those who are suffering from the disease. Therefore the person should have self-control over his taste-buds or else he may trigger off symptoms of the disease.
Develop a healthy diet plan with your doctor
Patients should consult his or her doctor for the formulation of a healthy diet plan. The plan should be made in such a way so that one gets the nutritional benefits from the foods mentioned in the diet as well as receives the energy that they need to perform day to day work. Therefore they must work out with the doctor and chalk out a diet plan which will help to combat the disease and maintain a healthy lifestyle. The person should let the doctor know about any allergy that he or she has to a certain food. This will help the doctor in leaving that food out from the diet chart.
Consume less fiber rich foods
Consuming less of foods rich in fiber helps patient immensely who have crohn's disease. Foods rich in fiber can lead to constipation and can cause discomfort. People suffering from the disease usually have narrowing in the small intestine. Consuming foods rich in fiber disrupts the functioning and leads to triggering symptoms of the disease. Therefore to avoid such situations, individuals must consume food which is less in fiber content and can be easily digested by the small intestine. Easy to digest yet nutritional foods include white bread, fruits, meats and cooked vegetables. Doctors advise that patients should consume less than ten to fifteen grams of fiber each day.
Increase your intake of fluids
Fluids are also an important part of the body. Water should be consumed by an individual in optimum amounts so that the body is kept hydrated and the toxins of the body can be easily washed away. Water is therefore a good source of nutrition for the body. Dehydration may occur from chronic diarrhea and can lead to effecting the functioning of the kidneys and resulting in weakness. Therefore drinking at least eight glasses of water daily is a good way of keeping the body hydrated and also to help prevent the disease.
Consuming supplements
It has often been found that individuals even after consuming the correct amount of food is not getting the desired nutrients retained in their body. This may be due to the small intestine which may not be able to break the food efficiently. For such individuals consuming vitamin or protein supplements can also be a good way to replenish the body with these vitamins and minerals. Consulting the doctor and taking these supplements is a good idea for many individuals. This will not only replenish the nutrients but will also help the body in combating the crohn's disease and maintaining the good health of the person.

How To Prepare For Summer With Laser!The summer is coming. That is right. I know it is hard to believe but it is and you want to be prepared. The most important thing is to jump on your laser hair removal early so you are ready for the summer. Here's 5 reasons why you should definitely consider jumping on your laser hair removal treatment for the summer!
- Laser hair removal treatments are quicker than you might expect. For example, it only takes 20 minutes to perform a treatment on the underarm and Brazilian area.
- You will save money in the long run. With the permanent reduction of hair, you no longer need to purchase endless razors, shaving cream, depilatory creams, and you will no longer need to have monthly waxing appointments. The cost of laser hair removal has decreased as the cost of waxing has increased. The results are far superior to waxing and the cost, over time, is much less.
- You can eliminate and prevent ingrown hairs. Laser hair removal is simply the best option and the only solution to prevent and eliminate ingrown hairs. It is also a great option for those who have sensitive skin and experience skin irritation from shaving and waxing.
- You will save time. Laser hair removal eliminates the need to shave daily. Add that up over a lifetime and just think how many weeks you spend with a razor in hand! Some research shows that the average woman will spend 75 days in a lifetime getting rid of that unwanted hair!
- No need to grow hair between treatments. Unlike waxing, you can shave between treatments. Say goodbye to the days of having to grow your hair out; with laser hair removal, you can shave as much as you like between sessions.

Definição: Gross capital formation (formerly gross domestic investment) consists of outlays on additions to the fixed assets of the economy plus net changes in the level of inventories. Fixed assets include land improvements (fences, ditches, drains, and so on); plant, machinery, and equipment purchases; and the construction of roads, railways, and the like, including schools, offices, hospitals, private residential dwellings, and commercial and industrial buildings. Inventories are stocks of goods held by firms to meet temporary or unexpected fluctuations in production or sales, and "work in progress." According to the 1993 SNA, net acquisitions of valuables are also considered capital formation.

SchoolTutoring Academy gave my daughter the confidence she needed to boost her SAT score Thank you!
SchoolTutoring has played an important role in improving our son's confidence and attitude towards school. His grades have also improved steadily throughout the school year.
My daughter was able to improve her test scores after a few months of tutoring with SchoolTutoring. However, while raising test scores is great, the real payoff is in the self-confidence that she gained.
I just wanted to send a quick note to say thank-you! My son is very impressed with his tutor and looks forward to each session. What's particularly amazing about this is our son has never really looked forward to math or school for that matter!
We are so happy with the results of your tutoring program and academic support. Homework time was such a stressful evening for the entire evening before we brought your tutors into our home. Thank you for all your help!
Our daughter, a first grader, struggled with basic reading and handwriting. When she began with SchoolTutoring she was almost a year behind her class. Within a year of being enrolled, she is reading above her grade level and has the confidence to match.

Chalk Talk: Media Savvy
It is good for students to be well read, but literacy does not begin and end with words on a page or screen. Today's kids are constantly bombarded with messages from films, online videos, songs, and advertisements. As such, it is important that students develop media literacy, in particular the ability to distinguish quality information and to recognize the amount of time spent on different genres of online media. Students who are capable of interpreting, critiquing, and discussing the texts they read are also capable of interpreting, critiquing, and discussing the messages they get from audio and visual sources. However, they are often reluctant to do this because they do not think of it as a normal part of consuming media. It is important for teachers and parents to encourage students to treat audio and visual media in they same way they treat texts. After all, they get most of their information these forms of media.

"Crab Season" 16x20 Oil on Canvas, 2009
Growing up on the Gulf Coast, part of summer vacation was getting to eat fresh seafood because it was shrimp and crab season. Fried, boiled or in seafood gumbo this is by far my favorite summer food. So here is my first impressionistic painting of crabs and shrimp. Of course it had to be very colorful and I put them in the sea just before the shrimp nets gather them up. Hope you like it.

Sacred Peace Walk
I am a peace walker. I walk in peace and I walk for peace. When I heeded the call to "Join us in transforming fears into compassion and apathy into action during Nevada Desert Experience's annual Sacred Peace walk", I found a movement that gave feet to my contemplative heart.
In Economy and Society, Max Weber elucidated a fourfold typology of religious orientations. He defined the ascetics, those concerned with social behavior and who are willing to deny themselves for the sake of religious salvation, and the mystics, those who are contemplative and focused on a spiritual relationship with the Divine. According to Weber, both ascetics and mystics can be categorized as either inner-worldly or other-worldly. Inner-worldly ascetics or mystics focus on this world and the now moment, while other-worldly ascetics or mystics emphasize preparation for another realm. When I sat in a Sociology of Religion course in college studying these types, I wondered where I felt most resonance. Was I more this-worldly or other-worldly? An ascetic or a mystic? The radical holy activist, peace and social justice change agent in me cried out "Yes!" to the land of this-worldly ascetism. Still, there was the contemplative inside me- the lectio divina practicing, zikr loving, shamanic journeying mystic. Here I find myself burying my soul in the bosom of other-worldly mysticism.
But the spiritual journey knows no categories or typologies, no bounds or limitations, no walls or divides. It simply happens as we walk with it, be in it, and live into it. In my own journey, the need to define and analyze who and what I am, as well as the whys–why I am and why I do what I do—has propelled me into new states of wonder and awe, as well as into confusion and seeming isolation. These divergent spaces and places of being have yielded unitary states with the Divine, as well as quintessential existential crisis moments. When I began peace walking I felt deep questions pinch and pull at me harder in the still small hours of the night, beckoning me to come closer to the flame to investigate. Those times, early morning, when everyone is sleeping and you are awake on your meditation cushion. Those times, when you desperately want someone to come with you into that garden of both beauty and pain, joy and affliction, peace and chaos, hope and suffering. Those times, when you realize no one can join you there. This is where you, and you alone, come to see the Holy face to face. It is by meeting here, in the heart of God, where I have been reassured that peace is always possible, change is always imminent, love is supreme, and the potentiality of transformation lingers in the air like the scent of jasmine in the night. This is how I have gotten through my spiritual journey, while a candle of hope flickers in my window.
Journey to Peace Walking
My journey into peace walking began when I was interning for the nonprofit nonviolent service Pace e Bene (PeB). Through my years of peace work with them I learned of the Nevada Desert Experience (NDE). One of the main areas of focus of NDE has been a call for an end to the damage and tragedy created by nuclear weapons as well as an emphasis on necessary reparations. I first risked arrest through nonviolent action in September 2009 at the Nevada Test Site (NTS), now known as the Nevada National Security Site NNSS (NNSS). The site, which is 1,360 square miles of desert just north of Las Vegas in Mercury, Nevada, sits on Western Shoshone land. Since 1951, the United States Government has detonated over 1,000 nuclear weapons at there. This beautiful desert is now referred to as the most bombed place on the planet.
Though I had been involved in peace work for years, when I crossed the line at the NTS that September day and broke the law, I felt my humanity in a way I never had. I heard the earth cry out from all the years of trauma experienced. I woke up to the immense suffering and devastation caused by nuclear bombs.
The experience rattled my cage and I fell into grief afterwards. I had never even thought about nuclear weapons. Being a child of the 1970s, there was never a time when they did not exist in my worldview. The feelings of shame and shock at the reality of imminent violence and danger we are all living with and under on a daily basis struck me down. The early morning moments of solitude, quietude, and feelings of aloneness and all-one-ness ensued. I wrestled with the important questions of who and what I am, as well as why I would be called to practice what Gandhi named satyagraha, "truth or soul force."
The reality was, I did not ask for this way of life. I did not grow up believing in nonviolence nor did I spend much time thinking about it. Feelings of anger percolated to the surface and I felt like a car in park with someone stepping on the gas pedal. Some people believe that those on the peace path experience a nonviolent moment. This is what professor emeritus and peace activist Michael Nagler describes as "a flash of spiritual light momentarily rending the darkness of the prevailing image of ourselves as a separate, competitive, neo-Darwinian animal."
It as though you are within the eye of the storm and all is still. This is a moment which defines you; where you see, taste, hear, and feel what you are made of and if you really believe in this thing called nonviolence. I had been graced with enough of these nonviolent moments before, but this one really sunk its teeth into me. I had no idea how I would be changed, nor did I have any conception about how my friends and family would also be changed. My stance of so-called defiance through the act of nonviolent direct action and arrest became scary for some people and very confusing for others. I received many questions from people like, "Do you think going out there and getting arrested matters?" as well as "Why would you do something like this, do you think it changes anything?" Slowly, I emerged from this place of deep inquiry feeling healed and renewed. I heard a deep resounding "Yes and yes and yes again, of course it matters!" and felt resolute. It was on, something was coming. It came as no surprise to me then, that when I learned of NDE's annual Sacred Peace Walk, my heart quickened and I knew I would one day say yes to this pilgrimage in the desert.
Every year, during what is Holy Week for Christians, Nevada Desert Experience's Sacred Peace Walk begins on the Las Vegas Strip. Amongst the casinos and cacophony of overwhelming sights and sounds, the tourist-lined streets and the dinging bells of faraway slot machines, the peace walkers begin the journey that eventually winds onto the highway for a 65 mile pilgrimage to the Nevada Test Site in Mercury.
Building Community
People from all over the world come to experience this peace walk, and for one week we live together in community. We walk, share, sing, pray, eat, and hope together. We come for a truly interfaith and interspiritual experience, sharing with each other over a Passover Seder, an earth-based ritual led by Priestess Candace Ross at the Temple of Goddess Spirituality, a Sunrise Ceremony with spiritual person and elder of the Western Shoshone Nation Johnnie Bobb, and a reenactment of the Stations of the Cross on Good Friday. At night we camp on the side of the highway, and after building a fire, we tell stories, sing songs, drum, and laugh. It is as though we can feel the ancestors smile in approval as we go back to the old ways of how things used to be. Looking up at the stars out there in the desert, it is as though grandfather sky twinkles diamonds back down at you. This is when you begin to return to the womb of mother earth. It is also when you begin to feel her suffering, and it is in the morning when you hear her heartbeat, not sure if it is the drum or in your imagination.
April 2014 marked my fourth Sacred Peace Walk and I had the honor of being chaplain. I did not know what would happen, how far inward I would go. Some years are easier than others. Some walks I have been so tired physically, emotionally, and spiritually that I have chosen to walk alone rather than have to talk to my fellow peace walkers on the highway. Interesting things happen on the road as you walk with it. I have always believed the desert to act as a drawing salve; it brings to the surface all that needs to come out, be it "good" or "bad." I have seen people, including myself, go through significant transformations on the Sacred Peace Walk. Sometimes there have been intense conflicts between walkers (ironic for a peace walk). Still other times the feeling of family and closeness is palpable from the very first day as we welcome each other. Mostly, as with life, there is a combination of dynamics that flow through.
When I walk on the highway, I begin to hear the ancestors sing. I see the curves and lines of women's faces in the mountains, and I pray. I pray to stay close to the Holy, to look for it everywhere and in everyone. I pray to have radical compassion. I pray my weary legs, which feel like a stilted puppetistas, keep moving forward. I pray for people's hearts to defrost, warming to the possibility of unlimited hope in the world. I pray for the beautiful souls I see walking in front of me and behind me. Their spirits light up the road.
Community of Peace
It was not until the second day in which I felt the shift. On every peace walk I have done, there is a moment of shift. The novelty of walking through the streets of Las Vegas, with all the chaotic, over stimulating energy surrounding is gone. The distractions are gone. The frequent interactions with passersby are gone. Translation: reality sets in. It was also on this second day when I saw him. I had walked into camp with Washington Post reporter Dan Zak after completing 14 miles of walking for the day. As we broke down for the night on the side of the highway, setting up our tents and preparing for dinner, I noticed him crouched down on the ground nervously smoking a cigarette. I introduced myself and as we shook hands he told me his name was David. Two fellow peace walkers had found him walking along Highway 157, pushing his bicycle which had a flat back tire. With all of his possessions on his person, he said he was going all the way up to Portland.
He felt like a wanderer, a drifter, a loner. Anyone in the middle of the desert walking must be. He was observing how we interacted with one another. I wondered what he thought of this traveling peace circus. We must look like a motley crew. After dinner that night, we built a fire and began to tell stories. I watched him, noticing that he never spoke, only looked at the fire. There was a kindness about him I deeply sensed and still I wondered for a moment, is this safe? I mean who is this person we just took in? I felt ashamed for thinking this and yet the thought came back to be aware.
The next day at breakfast I said hello to David, asking him how he slept. He seemed a bit less shy and nervous. We chatted over the morning oatmeal, making small talk. This is how it went for the next few days. Saying brief hellos and offering smiles, wanting him to feel included in the experience. I could sense when we got close to Creech Air Force Base that he was anxious about participating in any kind of vigiling we were doing. I had learned David had been in the military, stationed in Bosnia. He had experienced violence, had seen dead bodies piled upon each other. I wondered how he was being affected by what he was witnessing. When one is around a community of people walking for peace, it is hard to not feel an impact. There is something to being around a group of people who ardently believe in peace. This is not to say it is a perfect setting, because it is not. There are the conflicts and the differing personalities. Many of us have vastly different views on religion or spirituality and even nonviolence. However, there is a deep residing belief within each peace walker which includes hope, transformation, and the willingness to go out into the desert and walk miles in the sun flashing a peace sign at cars zooming by.
It does not really matter if we don't agree on everything, because there is enough glue that binds us together. I believe this is agape love in action. This is love which is bred out of compassion, out of forgiveness, out of healing, out of searching, out of being hungry for change in this world. David probably had no idea of what he landed into, no clue as to what was going to happen, and neither did I. Just as I have been changed every walk, going in as one person and 65 miles later leaving as another, I saw it happen for David.
I saw calm where there had been nervousness the first night I met him crouched down chain smoking. I saw connection as we joked together in line waiting for food. I saw a shift as he held a Martin Luther King, Jr. sign at the Creech Air Force Base, though vigiling a little bit farther away than the group, but still there. I saw hope in him. I saw and felt hope because of him. He is the reason I do this walk. He is the reason peace work still matters. He is the reason I will keep going. It doesn't matter what I am, if I am an ascetic or a mystic, this-worldly or other-worldly, all that matters is that I continue to love, to hope, to believe in the potentiality of transformation everywhere, no matter how big or small, be it for an individual or a group or the world.
We have no idea who we affect in this life. No idea how our actions can help someone. As Catholic Worker friend Mark and I pulled out onto the highway from Cactus Springs Goddess Temple heading back to Las Vegas, the walk now complete, I looked and saw our friend that we picked up on the second day, a man walking with his bike, a flat back tire. I almost said something to Mark, but then decided against it. Instead I just stopped, said a prayer for David, and smiled.

So I have been doing a series of interior design styles explained. I've written about Traditional style, Hollywood Regency, and Scandinavian so far. The one I gravitate towards the most is more of an urban industrial style, even though we live in contemporary house on 3 acres of woods on a rural island. You think our style would be farmhouse or something. Far from!
Urban Industrial doesn't have an interesting or storied past like Hollywood Regency and Scandinavian. Basically, Urban Industrial became a style with the exodus from Suburbia to the cities, and when city planning focused on denser living.
Old warehouses and factories became a hot commodity. So, exposed brick and old steel staircases became a design element.
Urban Industrial isn't quite as identifiable as some of the other design styles. You can put classy furniture or rough furniture in a warehouse set up and it's bound to look cool if done with a purpose. To offset steel, rough beams and exposed brick, warm textures and tones should be introduced. Rough leather looks great.
Plus, it's also super cool to add some flair. Fancy crystal chandeliers would look great and unexpected.
Below is how I would do my urban loft.

Miscellaneous Rumor Bits: Cubs and Mariners, Rays, Padres, Ross, More
So much going on to keep up with. If you missed any of the separate pieces: David Price to Blue Jays, Brandon Moss to Cardinals, Cole Hamels to Rangers, Carlos Gomez NOT to Mets, the Cubs might be shopping Castro, the Cubs might want Yovani Gallardo, the Dodgers/Braves/Marlins completed their whopper.
Other rumors flying around …
- My favorite kind of rumor, because you can just let your imagination run wild:
#Cubs and #Mariners have had trade talks recently. Unclear what names being discussed. Don't think it's Castro.
— Jerry Crasnick (@jcrasnick) July 30, 2015
- Michael recently wrote about plausible Mariners targets here, and there are some pieces that could fit with the Cubs. If Hisashi Iwakuma is available, he's a nice rental arm. J.A. Happ could be decent pitching depth. Seth Smith is very interesting, and has a 122 wRC+ on the year. So many young relievers, too. The mind … it goes places.
- No Dustin Ackley, though, as he's been traded to the Yankees.
- The Cubs and Rays have been roughly tied together with respect to bullpen arms, but the Rays also have some mighty attractive, cost-controlled starters:
Source: Rays listening on Nate Karns, who's drawing interest from a number of teams. Five years of control with really good offspeed stuff.
— Jeff Passan (@JeffPassan) July 30, 2015
Hearing #Rays are still in listening mode on pitchers, including Karns. Would still think Jepsen most likely to go if they deal anyone
— Marc Topkin (@TBTimes_Rays) July 30, 2015
- Is that the Rays floating a trial balloon on Karns, who is a 27-year-old righty only just now emerging as a middle-of-the-rotation arm? I don't love everything in the peripherals, but he's definitely interesting, especially when you consider the prime, cheap control.
- Such a great read from Ken Rosenthal on how the Mets/Brewers deal reporting got screwed up (or if it got screwed up), and how instant services like Twitter change things. I think that I wear many hats here at BN – curating/aggregating content is certainly a part of it, but I hope you also do see a healthy dose of analysis in both original pieces and in articles built on curation/aggregation – and I, too, am frequently petrified of making a mistake publicly (and, when I have, I wear it). It's a healthy fear to have, especially in this era. Being timely matters. Being accurate, fair, and comprehensive matters more.
- With David Price on the move, the Tigers are now probably moving on to dealing Yoenis Cespedes and Joakim Soria. So, you know, heads up on that. Not sure the Cubs would be in on either, but it's still notable.
- Indeed, the Pirates are reportedly working with the Tigers to get Soria.
- Been writing this post pretty much all day in the background, hence just now sharing this tweet from the wee hours:
One GM thinks Thursday will be A.J. Preller Day: "All of us are just waiting for him to make five trades." Kennedy, Venable gone for sure.
— Jeff Passan (@JeffPassan) July 30, 2015
- There's still time for this to be true, of course. But it could also bleed into tomorrow. The Cubs are probably involved in there somewhere. Speaking of which, you already knew this, but just to add more smoke:

- Ken Rosenthal says the Phillies may next move Ben Revere, possibly to an AL team. Revere could have been a fit with the Cubs as a bench guy, but he might have more value elsewhere.
- Some pitching that the Cubs could be checking in on, but that would be very hard to acquire:

- And, an outfield bench bat? How about Daniel Nava:

- Thing is, Nava's been abysmal this year, and, at age 32, it could be a legit decline. Sure, you could point to the .200 BABIP as bad luck, but his strikeouts are up, power is down, hard contact is down, line drive rate is way down, etc. There was also a thumb injury he was dealing with earlier in the year. Long story short: minor league flyer? Maybe.

The U.S. has "updated" its efforts to monitor Taliban detainees released from the war-on-terror prison at the U.S. Navy Base in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, in exchange for an American soldier because of concerns that they may be seeking to return to the battlefield, the White House said Friday.
The five detainees have been in Qatar since being released last year in exchange for Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl. On Thursday, Sen. Lindsey Graham (Rep., S.C.) said the men have been in touch with members of the al-Qaida-linked Haqqani network.
White House spokesman Josh Earnest said the detainees remain in Qatar and their activities are limited. But he says mitigation efforts "have been updated" to reflect concerns about their contacts with terror groups.
Earnest wouldn't detail the updates but said the U.S. is confident in measures that are in place.
At the Pentagon, spokesman Rear Adm. John Kirby said steps were being taken to mitigate any activity by the former detainees in the future. Although he declined to discuss the details of the agreement with Qatar, Kirby said the U.S. remains confident that "the assurances we received are sufficient enough to help us mitigate any future threat that these individuals might pose."

God, the Father of Creation; God, the Son in Flesh; God, the Spirit of Power. There's only ONE God. Yahweh is God in three Persons.
Sunday, March 4, 2012
The reason why I bring this up is because it's such a stark difference between the early church and the way we do things today. Today, it's all about "appointment". Today, it's all about a "religious ceremony" rather than a public declaration of faith.
Today, we have to be "ready" to be dunked because we have these expensive cell phones and clothing. We need to have a nice change of clothes and a camera for photo ops. And we can't forget the towels!
The problem here is the fact that baptism isn't taught much in church these days. The focus is all on "Repent and be saved!" But Christ called us to be baptized as well. We have altar calls for the repentant, but when's the last time you saw a "baptismal call"?
WHY isn't a church's baptismal OPEN and READY 24/7?? Don't you think the Apostles would put an emphasis on this? Who cares if it's a fancy pool or what have you? The point isn't fancy. The point is dunking. Got a swimming pool? Got a bathtub? A hot tub? Goodness, a water trough? Use what you got!!
There really is NO excuse for a church not to have a baptismal. Even if it's only a "glorified" water trough. The problem I see with not doing immediate baptisms the moment a new believer calls upon the name of the Lord is because they either:
A.) Don't know about baptism
B.) Don't think it's that important
C.) Put if off and procrastinate
D.) Don't know when or how to get baptized
Let me say this: Baptism doesn't save you. Only Jesus' work on the cross saves you.
However, He DID tell us to repent AND be baptized (Mark 16:16). It is a public declaration of your faith and an act of obedience to His command. You are symbolically dying to your old life and raising to a new life with Jesus. In that context, it makes SENSE to baptize right after conversion. There's no need to take a "class" and "learn" about baptism if it's PREACHED FROM THE PULPIT! Seriously, the Apostles did not give a class. They PREACHED and they dunked. End of story.
I waited a few years after I got saved before my baptism. I didn't know much about baptism and I also put it off because I didn't think it was that important. If baptism would have been preached along with repentance, I would have LOVED to have been baptized after I'd first believed! Let's put this in the perspective of Christ's Apostles two thousand years ago. Don't you think they would have been AGHAST at the thought of being baptized YEARS after you first believed on Christ? Seriously, years? Years?? And I'm sure I'm not the only one!
You never hear that when John the Baptist preached or St. Peter or St. Paul preached that people had second thoughts because they were going to get wet. Maybe there were some people in the crowd who didn't like that idea.
But let's put that into perspective. You're publicly proclaiming and giving your very life to the God of the universe and you're worried about some wet clothing? Really?
If anything else, churches should publicly display their baptism schedule so that new church members, veteran church members, or even people who might wander in off the street don't have to ask around, wonder about it, procrastinate, be too scared to ask someone, or not KNOW when baptisms are held.
Baptism is IMPORTANT, folks. The Apostles did it immediately upon conversion. This shouldn't be looked at as a "first century" thing. No, the Apostles knew that baptism was a PART of the conversion! It wasn't something to do "later" at a time that's "convenient".
Churches, I challenge you on this. Have a baptismal ready and someone willing to dunk a new believer at the drop of a hat. If nothing else, post a schedule of baptisms so that people don't have to wonder when they can join in. I've NEVER been to a church where I didn't have to go on a scavenger hunt for their next baptism ceremony! Ridiculous! The Apostles would be scandalized at the downplay of baptism in modern Christianity.
Let's be less worried about the ceremony and more worried about getting it done! What's the ratio of baptized believers to non-baptized believers? I bet you'd be astounded by how many Christians out there are NOT baptized due to our putting it off for a religious ceremony!!
And what would Jesus say about THAT, hmm? I thought He regularly put the smack down on "religious" types?

I am so glad I "happened" upon your blog. Thank you for such heartfelt and honest sharing. I write on this one today because I wanted to share with you something about my dear sister. She has been a Christian for over 30 years, but was not baptized. A few years back she was scheduled for breast cancer surgery and before she was to go under, she so desperately wanted to get baptized. She called the church, and in an unscheduled, unplanned, and unritualistic manner, her precious pastor met her alone with my brother in law at the church and baptized her..AMEN. Oh that we could see more of this Christianity among us....Blessing Dear Sister...jeanReplyDelete
That's amazing, Jean! I'm sooo glad your sister was able to be baptized. All pastors should be so accommodating. I know we don't all live by a convenient water source, but we can literally use anything that holds enough water to baptize others!ReplyDelete
I am of the opinion that while it's better to get baptized by a recognized church authority, if you do not or cannot get one to baptize you, any elder saint can baptize any younger saint ("elder" and "younger" determined by years of belief, not by age, for instance, a 30 year old could be more "elder" in the church than a 60 year old if they've believed for 20 years as opposed to 5 years or what have you).
Thank you for posting, and I hope you enjoy the rest of my blog! I love sharing what I've learned about our Lord! \O/

Sometimes I wish I didn't always feel the urge to do the right thing and be the right kind of person. My life would be less guilt-ridden and probably less complicated. But that is not who I am. I am that kind of person that wants to be a better human and though I fail often at perfection in that realm, I just keep re-evaluating myself and my actions and keep striving for what is apparently unattainable. Or at least unattainable by me so far.
My top threes right now are as follows:
Reconciling Differences
I hate it when I think of myself as being one way when in reality I am not really that way. I like to think I am a laid back, Grateful Dead type when in reality, I tend to be uptight and rigidly scheduled. How did that happen? Still, I think of myself as the former. At one time I was like that. However, now I find myself glued to my pre-arranged schedule and unable to improvise without feeling a little anxious. I am more laid back about a lot of things but when it comes to spontaneity, I really am not how I envision myself.
I always told myself I would NOT get into debt. However, here I am, with too much debt and no short term plan that can get me out of it. I am so disappointed in myself for this. I wish I could snap my fingers and make it disappear but it just doesn't work that way. My financial position would not be so bad if I didn't have the debt payments. It isn't that I'm not trying to get out of debt. I am. There just seems to be no light at the end of the tunnel. There is simply too much to take care of it. What a shame.
There is a story that I heard during Rosh Hashanah that I cannot quite remember now…but somewhere in it Rabbi Akiva got to make the prayer or pleased G-d or something like that not because he achieved more or was more brilliant, but because he transcended his nature for a split second and did not react with anger…which for him, was his nature. For this nearly impossible feat, he was rewarded. I am often so defeated to know that the very behavior(s) I want to change and have been trying to change for years are so automatic and ingrained – so a part of my nature – that I seem to not be able to permanently change them.

These are really hard issues - I think we are all struggling with them. Which isn't to say we shouldn't worry, just that I feel your pain! I had this great goal to be out of debt this year - not happening. And I continue to amaze myself about how little I am living up to the standards I have been holding myself to all these years. I just want you to know how awesome WE think you are, even if you aren't where you would like to be. So many times I stop and ask myself "what would Kimber do in this situation?" Give yourself a break - you are amazing!

Ms. Kimmie :), I agree with Heidi completely. Also, I don't know if you know, but I share you with a lot of my friends. One time I made copies a couple of your blogs and then e-mailed them to my friends. One of them was really cute and funny and they loved it. In case you haven't noticed, I also come to you for advice on certain things...You have made yourself into an amazing person, mother, aunt and wife...of course, when I see you use humor with Rob instead of being critical...that makes me proud of you too.
Love, Mommy

Stop being so hard on yourself! I think as mothers we want to be everything to everybody and all to all. It just isn't possible and perfectional is not attainable! I give myself a hard time alot about not being organised enough or handling the children correctly everytime! I do try, I write lists and lists but then lose them. I try to watch my short fuse everytime I hit PMT but it usually gets the better of me on one day or another! This said, I do feel it is important to keep trying and keep our goals in focus - can your imagine the alternative. I would be sitting around all day, eating chocolate, probably watching TV and losing it with the kids when they come home! Instead, I don't turn the TV on in the day, I don't buy chocolate that I like, I "schedule" tea breaks when at home so that I don't sit down! Like you, I find comfort in routine and as much as I try to be laid back about things, I'm generally not. From all I have read about you and heard from you very proud Mom, I am glad to say that you were my best friend and that we are now connected again! Go look in a mirror and tell yourself you are gorgeous and great, even if you don't feel like it. xx

I have to say that I agree with Heidi... these are all difficult issues and we struggle with them not only to make ourselves better but to be good role models for our children as well. But just know that the fact that you struggle with these issues and make good choices and love your family and friends so much does rub off on your daughter and WE see it too!
